Shot chart

Every shot attempt, computed from the league's play-by-play coordinates. Hurricanes attack left, Senators attack right, all periods folded onto one rink. Attempts are plotted where the league recorded them, so the 3 marks in a team's own end are attempts logged from there: empty-net shots, long dumps on the net; 1 empty-net goal is drawn as a diamond. Boxscore shots on goal: CAR 28, OTT 31.

CAR in red OTT in blue goal empty-net goal shot on goal missed blocked Hurricanes 28 shots on goal (3 goals, 11 missed, 25 blocked) attacking left; Senators 31 shots on goal (6 goals, 14 missed, 12 blocked) attacking right.

Attempt share by period

Hurricanes took 52.9% of the shot attempts, and 54.0% of the 100 attempts taken at 5-on-5. An attempt is a goal, a shot on goal, a miss or a blocked shot; CF% is the share of them belonging to the Senators and FF% their share of the ones that were not blocked, so the Hurricanes hold the remainder. All situations unless the 5-on-5 figure is named. All 32 teams
